Rory and Westwood as locks for top ten.  

 

As BDC's driver goes, so does he.  If he has it, he will be in the mix near the top. If he doesn't and ends up dropping shots because of it and needing to rely on iron play and short game, he will struggle.

 

Hard to say with Rahm and the effect the new kid has on him.

 

The remaining three I don't see as proven in majors yet (knowing full well Morikawa won the PGA, I just see that as a very different than the typical major pressure A) no fans, B) the course and C) it was the PGA Champ and not one of the other three).

 

If I was going to rank those players in terms of likelihood to be in the top ten:

1. McIlroy
2. Westwood
3. BDC
4. Rahm
5. Morikawa
6. Cantlay
7. Hovland

 

Rahm T5

 

So much for my locks.

I feel obligated to come back and admit I underestimated Rory's ability to have back-to-back clankers.

 

I feel badly for anyone who placed a bet for Rory to fade to mediocrity based upon my predictions.  I had no idea he would just plain old stink it up.  Fool me once Rory.  Fool me once.

Give yourself a break, he switched teachers and as good as he is, switching teachers is big,

On Thursday before it started i had 4 bets, Westwood, Fleetwood, Garcia, all each way, and a combined bet of Spieth, westwood and Fleetwood to all be in the top 10 (inc ties)

 

By Thursday night i basically only had 1 bet left!
